Camphor wood insect repellent powder with a refreshing, cool scent (12 pieces)
Product description
This is an insect repellent powder made from natural camphor, which is painstakingly and carefully extracted from domestic camphor trees. This is just a rough guide, but we recommend placing 2-3 pieces in a dresser drawer and 4-5 pieces in a clothing case. The individually wrapped natural camphor will evaporate and disappear in approximately 6 months (*replacement period varies depending on the environment), so when the contents are gone, please replace it with a new one. Not only can it be used to repel insects from clothing, but it can also be used to put in boots that you no longer wear during the off-season, or as a deodorizer for your shoe closet.
Material information
Camphor, known as an insect repellent, is a tree known for its distinctive fragrance. Its unique aroma is said to be the origin of the Japanese word "kus" (smelly) or "medicine." Known as camphor in Dutch, camphor has long been used for various purposes around the world, including as a raw material for medicines, fragrances, and celluloid. Camphor's refreshing, menthol- and eucalyptus-like scent repels insects, leading to its long-standing use as an insect repellent. Camphor, a natural insect repellent, is extracted from camphor wood chips by steam distillation and crystallized. Its highly volatile nature means that it has a strong camphor scent when removed from a clothing case, but the scent fades with exposure to air and sunlight. Because it contains no chemicals, it is a gentle insect repellent for those sensitive to the environment. Natural camphor was once a monopoly product, contributing to the nation's interests. However, due to the spread of inexpensive synthetic insect repellents and declining demand, only a few companies currently produce it, making it a highly valuable product.
Precautions
Please store camphor carefully and avoid licking or eating it. Camphor oil is a 100% natural oil extracted from camphor trees, so applying it directly to the skin can be too irritating and cause a rash. Please handle with care. Do not use in conjunction with commercially available insect repellents. It may cause stains.
